To all whom t may concern Y Be it known that I, ANTONI BENCINI, of Mitton, in the county of Caswell and State of North Carolina, have invented a new and Improved Mode of Making C'oii'ee and Tea, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawing ofthe saine. i

Figure l is aperspective a section through the center.

The nature of my invention consists in providing a common coffee pot A of any given size with a receptacle or condenser B aflixed on the top of the said coee pot holding about one third of the quantity of the main pot. The Vreceptacle has at the bot-tom screwthreads three inches in diameter confined to the bottom of the same with a stopper C sufficient in length to reach two inches above the top Vof the receptacle .and three inches in diameter with a screw attaohed to the bottom of the same to fit and screw into the bottoni of the receptacle or condenser so as to prevent the cold water from passing into the body of the pot until necessary. This stopper is also hollow with a division D in it to come within one-quarter of an inch of the top of the stopper. There is also a small hole E near the bottom of the stopper for the steam to pass through into the cold water in the receptacle. The stopper has a handle F at the top for the purpose of screwing or unscrewing the same. `The spout G of the pot should be sto ped with a cork or wooden stopper when 1 oiling.

Fig 2 is Any given quantityv of ground coffee for Vtea is put into the pot which shall then be .filled with boiling water to the strainer of the spout which should be so fixed as to make it two thirds full. Then screw in the stoppen and fill the .receptacle with cold water and set it on live coals for boiling.. Let it boil until you discover steam arising from the top of the receptacle or condenser. When this is seen, which Awill usually be produced in fifteen or twenty minutes take ,it from the fire, unscrew the stopper so as Vflavor is produced with the remaining two thirds.
